I’m saddened to learn of Forrest’s passing and wish I had known. As an RN at HGH, I had great respect for his clinical integrity

I lost my good friend Doc. My thoughts and prayers go out for the family’ loss. I met Doc in the mid nineties and we hit it off right away. Doc was the leader of a motorcycle group name the rumbling farts. We rode Harleys to lunch about 2 to 3 times ever weekwhat a great life. The group was about 15 strong and now less than 5 remain. I hope to meet Doc in heaven one day and go on a great ride ❤.

I knew Kathy and Forrest in the early sixties when they lived on Chamberlayne Avenue. We became good friends and visited each other in their home and ours in Richmond when our children were young. He was a wonderful, fun person and we enjoyed the years we shared. May the years you had filled with rich memories be of much comfort to each of you. Lois Abernathy

Dr. McCourt was one of my favorite Doctors at the Emergency Room when we would bring patients in from the field. I was a Firefighter/Paramedic and was very fortunate and honored to have been able to learn from him. He always took the time to explain procedures and care for patients when I would have a question or concern about something. He was always very nice to everyone he came in contact with. He will be missed by so many!
Godspeed Dear Sir on your next journey!
